Scotland's Population Health Framework: Child Rights and Wellbeing Impact Assessment

Post Assessment Review and sign-off

10. Planning for the review of impact on children’s rights and wellbeing

To ensure that the Population Health Framework remains responsive to the evolving needs of children and young people, the impact assessment process will be regularly reviewed throughout its 10 year lifecycle.

As individual actions are developed and implemented, detailed impact assessments will be conducted as required, to monitor their effectiveness and identify unintended consequences. These assessments will help us understand where future actions may be needed, providing the evidence base to refine and adjust the framework as necessary. This iterative process will ensure that the framework adapts to emerging challenges and continues to meet the rights and wellbeing of all children, ensuring that preventative actions are maximised and inequalities and reduced over time.
